He also oversaw Amundi’s Paris listing in 2015 and several key acquisitions, including Pioneer Investments and Banco de Sabadell.   

In his new role, Perrier will focus on promoting finance that supports the country’s transition and development challenges. 

Perrier: “Amundi has a robust business model and strong growth drivers for the future. I am certain that, under the leadership of Valérie Baudson [current CEO] and with the support of Philippe Brassac and Crédit Agricole Group, Amundi will continue its growth journey.”
